BOURBONNAIS — Tradition dictates that the day the Bears report for training camp at Olivet Nazarene University includes plenty of floppy hats and flimsy subject matter.
So it came as no surprise when general manager Phil Emery began his remarks Wednesday apologizing for not tweeting support for the Stanley Cup-champion Blackhawks and ended them expressing enthusiasm over Devin Hester racing a cheetah for a Nat Geo Wild television show.
"First I've heard of it. … I'm really kind of curious,'' Emery said, smiling.

VOTE: What will Cutler have to do to get a contract extension?

If I were Emery, I would prefer Hester focus on outrunning Bengals and Lions and, as a married man, the occasional cougar. But moving from the silly to the serious, it sounded as if Emery came to Kankakee County content in every way to trust veteran Bears such as Hester entering the final years of contracts let their behavior determine their futures.
"I do not anticipate that we will do any extensions of contracts during this season,'' Emery said. "I prefer the focus to be on the field in the present tense and our efforts to win championships.''
With as many as 12 starters or regulars whose deals expire in 16 games, Emery's decision to remove ambiguity from contract negotiations on Day One represented a calculated risk. It potentially improved the leverage of every Bears player the team wants back in 2014 after a big season. But, refreshingly, it also treats every player in a contract year the same way and underscores 2013 as a prove-it season for everybody on the roster under first-year coach Marc Trestman, including quarterback Jay Cutler. Especially Cutler.
Forget the implications for cornerback Charles Tillman or center Roberto Garza, two guys whose age makes them candidates to move on in 2014, or cornerback Tim Jennings and defensive tackle Henry Melton — who's outrageous $8.45 million franchise-tag salary created the Bears' cap hell. Emery's new policy statement on eliminating extension talk in-season revolved around Cutler, who signed his last contract, a five-year, $50 million deal, on Oct. 20, 2009 — Week 7. Apparently that won't happen this October even if Cutler starts fast.
"That's fine with me,'' Cutler said upon arriving.
With kudos to Emery, it has to be. If the Bears were convinced Cutler was their quarterback of the future, Emery would have had no message to send. But wisely the team seeks more proof, as Emery's declaration five minutes into his season-opening address confirmed.
Sure, Emery can blame the Bears being a mere $1.6 million below the salary cap, but his surprising directness ultimately dared Cutler to have a Joe Flacco-like season. Nobody's suggesting the Bears will spend Super Bowl week in a New York state of mind, but if Cutler responds to Emery's challenge positively, a berth in the playoffs or Pro Bowl could warrant reinvestment in No. 6.
"That's a problem I look forward to,'' Emery answered when asked about Cutler's possible payoff. "They have seen since I've been here. We will reward players on the upside and still improving and contributing, whether they are young or old.''
Somewhere on a golf course, Brian Urlacher snickers.
Patiently waiting his turn next to Emery in long sleeves, Trestman did little when he spoke to ease concerns about his ability to get through to a player who needs tough love as badly as Cutler. Trestman, for instance, insisted on calling Thursday's conditioning test "an accountability exercise.''
Can't wait to hear the first time Trestman calls benching a player enforcing rest. Will Cutler interceptions merely be good opportunities for offensive linemen to practice tackling? The surest sign of a new day in the Bears organization came when Trestman articulated daily player goals.
"We're going to do everything on multiple levels to allow them to self-actualize every day and don't worry about the big-picture,'' Trestman said.
Self-actualize? Dare I say Cutler's passes won't be the only things going over players' heads this season. At this rate, the Bears threaten to become the first team to have its playbook reviewed by The New York Times.
"What we're trying to do is create an environment in which every player can be the best they can be every day,'' Trestman said. "The only way to do that is for the guy next to him to try to do the same thing. Because of the interconnectivity of this game, you can't be the best you can be unless the guys around you are working at it.''
The real work begins Friday with the first practice of a season that, judging from Emery's comments, figures to end with the Bears either making the playoffs or beginning to rebuild.
"We know that road is hard,'' Emery said. "It's a dusty road, a long highway.''
It's a road you could call 2013 Contract Drive.

Published on: Aug 10, 2012 An executive order has been issued waiving size restrictions and permit fees on oversized loads of hay enroute to Texas. The Departments of Transportation and Development, Public Safety and Revenue will allow vehicles transporting round hay bales to be loaded side by side across trailers up to twelve feet in width and fourteen feet in height. Size is normally restricted to 8 feet 6 inches in width and 13 feet 6 inches in height. Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M. said, "As Texas continues to experience drought conditions, their hay production has been affected significantly. With this executive order, Louisiana hay producers may be able to help out Texas ranchers and suspending the restrictions and waiving the permit fee will allow them to transport more hay at the lowest possible cost."Hay Load Limits Waived In Louisiana Carriers, owners and drivers are responsible for verifying in advance that the actual dimension and weight of the vehicles and loads are acceptable for all routes traveled. The oversize vehicles may only travel during daylight hours, must have required signage and flags properly placed to indicate they bear oversize loads, not exceed weight limits for bridges and similar structures, be equipped with proper mirrors, the loads must be securely bound and must carry a copy of the executive order in the vehicle. The executive order is in effect through October 25, 2012.

Doc Rivers is talking cash noise. I would like to see him put his money where his fat mouth is and rest his top 4 players on their next nationally televised game. He needs to shut up and worry about his job rather than someone else's job!
Rivers backs Popovich after Stern fines Spurs
By Ben Golliver
From one championship coach to another: I've got your back.
Hours after NBA commissioner David Stern fined the Spurs $250,000 after coach Gregg Popovich rested four of his players during a Thursday game against the Heat, Celtics coach Doc Rivers came out strongly in favor of his colleague.
"You've got to coach your team to win in the long run and you have to do whatever you need to do," Rivers said before a Friday game against the Blazers, according to the Associated Press. "If that's sitting players, you sit players."
Rivers also took a dig at Stern, who threatened "significant sanctions" in a statement released before the Spurs and Heat tipped off on Thursday.
"I think it was an action and a reaction personally, and I think the reaction was probably overdone [Thursday], and then all of a sudden you have to have an action," Rivers said, according to WEEI.com.
Popovich, a four-time champion, and Rivers, who coached the Celtics to the 2008 title, are regarded as arguably the two best coaches in the NBA. Both have been floated as possible successors to coach USA Basketball once Duke's Mike Krzyzewski decides to step down.
In explaining the fine, Stern essentially relied on a "for the good of the game" argument.
"The Spurs decided to make four of their top players unavailable for an early-season game that was the team's only regular-season visit to Miami," his statement read. "The team also did this without informing the Heat, the media, or the league office in a timely way. Under these circumstances, I have concluded that the Spurs did a disservice to the league and our fans. The Spurs' actions were in violation of a league policy, reviewed with the NBA Board of Governors in April 2010, against resting players in a manner contrary to the best interests of the NBA."
But Stern clearly opened up a slippery slope with his ruling, as coaches need to juggle line-ups and rest players throughout the season for a variety of injuries. Popovich's decision to not only rest Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green, but to fly them home to San Antonio, was clearly an extreme case. But the issue of a coach's right to make decisions governing his lineups and the management of players, particularly veterans, over the course of a long season looms large behind Stern's decision.
The Associated Press reported Rivers' opinion on the subject, which included the statement that he would strategically rest his players this season if he deems it necessary, regardless of the fine.
''Whatever is going to help your team win, a coach is going to do,'' he said, ''because if you don't and it hurts your team then you're the one that won't be around.''
''We'll do it when we want to do it and we should be able to do it,'' Rivers said. ''It could be early in the season, the end of the season.''
Several key members of the Celtics are 30+ years old: Kevin Garnett is 36, Paul Pierce is 35, Jason Terry is 35 and Jason Collins is 33.
Popovich has argued that the strategic resting of players is simply a "very logical" approach during a long season with many games in a short period of time. Thursday's game was San Antonio's fourth in five nights and the second half of a back-to-back.
Former NBA coach and current television commentator Jeff Van Gundy also backed Popovich and criticized Stern on Friday.
It would be awesome, in a show of solidarity, if the other teams all pitched in ~$10k each to cover the fine. It would appear that the only one that doesn't know that Stern is wrong is Stern himself.
@DBLETAP I don't know that Stern is wrong either. There is no telling what theTNT executives called Stern and threatened. Remember where the money comes from for their exorbitant contracts. The NBA is all about money, the games are incidental. The TV networks pay for audience generated by the best players competing against each other, not the end of the bench playing by another team's best.
Rest the players during their 3 month vacation at the end of the month, not 1 month after the have come off of vacation. Popovich should have been smart enough to know not to bite the hand that feeds him!

Sock drive, victory, birthday wishes: It's all in a night's work for the HHS soccer team
Shortly after the Homestead boys socer team's hard-fought 1-0 victory over Port Washington on Sept. 29, forward Gabe Genovesi sat on the bench with a towel over his head rubbing his aching foot.
It got stepped on as he tried to finish up a breakaway in the final two minutes of the game (he was frustrated when the shot caromed off the crossbar) and as it started to feel better, he could start putting the last few weeks as well as the evening itself in full perspective.
The Man Who Doesn't Say No
St. Anthony the Hermit Parish was truly blessed when Father Dennis J. Wieland became part of our parish family in June of 2008. He is the biggest proponent of our school and his presence really has an affect on our children.
When I heard that Father Dennis gave all the 8th graders a lollipop at Mass with instructions to Pay It Forward and give the lollipop to a fellow student, I was in awe at the lesson he was teaching our children. When the school came together to do a coin drive during Catholic Schools week and collected over $700, Father Dennis added another $500 for their hard work. The money was donated to our sister parish, Sagrada Familia, in the Dominican Republic. Father Dennis doesn't just talk about being full of grace – instead he is a living example.

300 channels and nothing to watch?
Although Bruce Springsteen lamented about "57 channels and nothing is on", I find it hard to believe there isn't something for him now that there are over 300 channels on most video providers. At any time of the day you can escape through a classic old film or a recent blockbuster. You can learn about home improvements, healthy living, what not to wear, and how to do just about anything. You can explore the ends of the Earth and watch your local parade on community access. Yes, television also has many evils for the masses such as home shopping networks, bride related reality shows and of course "Regis & Kelly". (kidding). Cable television has evolved to something similar to satellite radio. Sometimes you feel like disco and sometimes you don't! To each his own.
With that in mind Time Warner made a major change in their digital channel lineup this week. The new "theme based" schedule will allow people to surf through the specific type of programming they are interested in. Here is a link that will allow you to easily select your particular subscription package and see how the new line-up is grouped.

Wisconsin Beer Tax
Last week in Madison the state assembly began hearings regarding Assembly Bill 287. This bill would raise the tax on all beer produced in Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a wonderfull location for new breweries and brewpubs to open. The reason is the taxes on beer is lower than some other states. This is one of the rare examples where Wisconsin is a lower tax state. Wisconsin is also one of the top brewing states with the number of breweries and brewpubs.
Please contact your local representative and let them know this is a bad idea and to pursue other ideas for tax increases. The sponsers of this bill are trying to leverage that increased taxes would go toward drunk driving initiatives. The cause may be right but the use of taxes is not. They also have left out the fact the Wisconsin ranks in the top 5 in the country with total tax impact of +40% of the cost of beer going to one tax or another.

My wife and I were out for an evening stroll the other night when we took notice of something that happens over and over again in our neighborhood.
In front of the now closed Thomas Jefferson School there is a stop sign that signals motorists to come to a stop before proceding. In a perfect world that is what would happen. In this imperfect world it is rarely even attempted.

A New Voice for the Animals
Hi everyone! I'm Zoe, a senior from Concordia University that is interning at HAWS this fall semester. I'm majoring in Business Communications and Public Relations with a minor in Marketing and I've been working here at the shelter since the end of August.
I decided to do an internship at HAWS because I have always loved animals. Growing up I had numerous hamsters, bunnies, cats and dogs. Currently I have three Shih Tzu's- Buster, Baci and Binky- who are my absolute favorite things ever!
However, I also decided to do an internship at HAWS because I think it's really important to have a voice for something that doesn't have the ability to have a voice on their own. Cats, dogs, and other animals don't get to choose their destinies... and they need our help in order to stay healthy and happy! HAWS is that voice. The people here are all so kind and caring, and they love animals very much.
So far I've done a lot of different things around the shelter. My first few days here I observed all of the different departments- everything from the front adoptions desk to the humane educator and I even spent one day in the SNIP clinic. The different departments were all very interesting and a lot more happens around the shelter than you would ever guess!
I also got to spend one day at TMJ4 with Jen and Cassie while they appeared on "The Morning Blend". It was really cool to see behind the scenes what goes on during a live TV show.
By the way - we'll have more insights from Zoe in future weeks - stay tuned! And don't forget to participate in all of our great programs and events - the Boo 'N Doogle Pet Costume Contest, Pet Photos with Santa, and more! Visit the Upcoming Events calendar on our website for all the details.
Christian Music in Our Community
[Attention: Before I start the blog, I want to extend a permanent invitation to any church, or organization, in Menomonee Falls, Germantown or surrounding area to notify me of any faith based music event and I will do my best to promote it on this blog and in my personal email list. This includes events like St. Anthony's beautiful Christmas show that featured many of their members.]
Intern Zoe and Men at Work
Last weekend HAWS had its biggest event of the year- the annual fall fundraiser! This year, we celebrated the expanion work being done on our shelter by having the theme of the party be called "Men at Work."
The past few weeks I've spent my time at HAWS helping to prepare for this event. I had no idea how much time and organization an event such as this one really takes. Other people around the shelter had started preparing for this party months and months in advance!
I spent my time preparing for the event by contacting local businesses, picking up auction items, organizing donations, making signs and posters, and other activities that needed to be done for the party. The day of the event was a marathon day - some of our workers and volunteers were at the hotel - Olympia Resort - from 9am until after midnight! (Luckily, they let me arrive at noon.)
The party ended up being really fun and was a great success. There was a silent auction, a live auction, a balloon contest, adoptable pet meet'n'greet, and HAWS had hired the band The Boogie Men to play live on stage. Some of the items that were available in the auctions were really cool - sporting equipment and memorabilia, fine jewelry, home decor, Brewers tickets and even front row courtside Bucks tickets!
There were also a lot of delicious foods available including one of my favorite things - a mashed potato bar.
The event was held at Olympia Resort out in Oconomowoc and a lot of people came in order to support our cause.
By the way - this weekend is Pet Photos with Santa weekend here at HAWS - call today to set your appointment (262-542-8851). Your fee of $30 includes your 15-minute photo session, one 8x10 and 2 5x7s, and for $5 more you'll get a CD of all the photos taken during your session. Don't miss out!
By the way, part 2 - our annual Holiday Bazaar and Bake Sale is on Saturday, November 14th here at HAWS. Get an early start on your holiday shopping with craft items and baked goodies for people AND pets. Mark your calendar!
Why is it?
Back in the days when Bush Jr. was in power I would get weekly (often more) request to express my opinions about his performance from one poll or another.
Since Mr. Obama has taken office I have yet not received even one query about his performance or abilities.
Every Three Seconds Someone Needs Blood - Donate Today!
Menomonee Falls Community Education & Recreation in partnership with the Blood Center of Wisconsin is hosting a Community Blood Drive Thursday, November 12 from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM in rooms 102A & 102B of the Community Center. The Blood Center of Wisconsin needs donors to help with this worthy cause.

Recognizing the Signs & Symptoms of ADD
It is important to realize that ADD is not a physical ailment like a broken arm or chicken pox. ADD does not have clear physical signs that can be seen in an x-ray or show up on a lab test.
It can only be identified by looking for certain characteristic behaviors, and these behaviors vary from child to child and also in sexes. Experts show that boys are three times more likely to suffer from ADD than girls. While boys tend to show more symptoms of hyperactivity, girls display signs of inattentive behavior, which is less likely to cause any inconveniences therefore possibly going undiagnosed. Symptoms of ADD typically occur in early childhood, but may also be developed later in life.
The symptoms of ADD in children are often quite different from those of ADD in adults. However, the biggest indicator of ADD in children is usually inattention that is inappropriate for the age and not caused by any other environmental, psychological, or physical factors.
This means that a child with a primary diagnosis of depression, for example, should not be diagnosed with or treated for ADD.
The following symptoms are common indicators of ADD in children:
- Difficulty keeping attention on work or play activities at school and at home
- Losing or forgetting things like toys, pencils, books, or tools needed for a task
- Avoids or dislikes activities that require sitting still or a sustained effort
- Seems disorganized and doesn't pay close attention to details
- Has trouble with tasks that require planning ahead
- Forgets things and is easily distracted
- Does not follow directions or finish tasks, often skipping from one uncompleted activity to another
- Does not appear to be listening when someone is speaking
- Does not pay attention and makes careless mistakes
- Is forgetful about daily activities
- Has a tendency to daydream
- Becomes easily distracted by irrelevant sights and sounds
- Rarely follows instructions carefully and completely
- Throws temper tantrums
To help recognize ADD, some of the symptoms that cause impairment must:
- Be present before seven years of age
- Be present consistently for a period of six months
Above all, the behaviors must severely compromise at least two areas of a child's life, such as school, home, or social settings.
A child whose schoolwork or friendships are not impaired by these behaviors would not be diagnosed with ADD. Similarly, a child who seems overly active at school but functions well elsewhere would not be diagnosed with ADD.
To complicate things further, different symptoms may appear in different settings, depending on the child and the demands of different surroundings:
- A child who can't sit still will be noticeable in school, but the daydreamer may be overlooked. Yet both may have different types of ADD.
- The impulsive child who acts before thinking may be seen as a 'problem child', while the child who is sluggish may be seen as 'unmotivated'. Yet again, both may have different types of ADD.
Inattention may not become apparent until a child enters the challenging environment of school. Homework is particularly hard for these children. They will forget to write down an assignment, or leave it at school.
They will forget to bring a book home, or bring the wrong one. The homework, if finally finished, is often full of errors and erasures. Homework is often accompanied by frustration for both parent and child.
True ADD symptoms appear on a regular basis across a wide variety of situations and can interfere with learning. That is why a teacher sometimes is the first to notice inattention, hyperactivity and/or impulsivity, and bring these symptoms to the parents' attention.

Symptoms and Detection
Cervical cancer typically develops slowly and begins with the development of precancerous changes in normal cells. Early cervical cancer has no symptoms. However, detection of abnormal cells is possible with a regular Pap smear. A regular Pap smear is also women's best opportunity for early detection of cervical cancer. As with most cancers, early detection is the best opportunity for survival.
If a Pap smear reveals abnormal cells, further diagnostic tests are performed to determine a diagnosis. Irregular cells could indicate:
Further tests are necessary to make a diagnosis. Additional tests that may be performed include:
Stages of Cervical Cancer:
If the diagnostic tests indicate the presence of cancer, additional imaging (CT, MRI, etc.) may be performed to determine the location and extent of the disease. This is called staging and affects how the cancer will be treated.

Available Projects
I have a window that was leaking and caulked around the sides of the window and is still leaking. I was seeing if anyone know what i should do next?
the window, or the window frame? the frame is the part that doesn't move.
top and bottom are more likely to be where the water infiltration is coming from, and water can get in behind the wall and run down, looking for the first availiable place to get in. water will invariably find any opening that exists to get in the wall. that can rot the wall.
if there is crummy rotten wood soft enough to poke a screwdriver into, that indicates you need to remove the stops that hold the sliding window parts in the frame, carefully inspect the frame, and perhaps cut some wallboard inside to look for damage. fix everything and reframe the window, or replace it. there needs to be a seamless to falling water weather shield on the outside of the house to divert any water behind the clapboards/stucco/whatever OUT first, then away.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Got a picture of the inside and outside of the window?
Hard to suggest how to fix something you can not even see.
In my opinion you should contact a Toronto Replacement Windows because a professional company is beneficial to fix this problem permanently.

Three new chamber works on new Bridge cd
While the Tokyo String Quartet commissioned and premiered "An Exaltation of Larks," it is almost poetic that the Lark String Quartet has recorded the work by Jennifer Higdon. In fact, the larks have quite a history with new music and Jennifer Higdon.
In the first segment:
Guest - Richard Blanco
The fifth poet to read at a Presidential Inauguration, following in the steps of Robert Frost (1961) and Maya Angelou (1993), Richard Blanco's poetry explores the meanings of identity, place and culture and his story is compelling, having been "made in Cuba, assembled in Spain and imported to the United States."
*Several errors have been brought to our attention in regard to this story:
April is Child Abuse Awareness month, and San Antonio Sen. Carlos Uresti is calling for more volunteers to help increase the local message of saving children's lives.
Uresti said Bexar County showed an increase in the number of cases of child abuse in 2012.
"Sadly, last year we had 6,205 confirmed cases of child abuse just in Bexar County," Uresti said, adding that 20 of those children died from their injuries.
The back and forth on VIA's proposed modern streetcar continued Thursday night at a meeting to gather public input; the system is on track to launch in 2017, but many people are determined to derail the idea.
The proposed downtown system for San Antonio involves five miles of rail with one route traveling north to south through downtown, and the other east to west. Like most of the exact details involving the system, it's yet to be determined where the embedded rails and overhead powerlines would go.
Neighborhood electric vehicles (NEV's), haven't been allowed on San Antonio side streets since 2006, but they could be making a comeback.
Several serious accidents - often times involving young drivers - prompted a ban of such vehicles, sometimes called low speed vehicles, by the San Antonio City Council. That was seven years ago, but new state laws require them to be licensed and registered and an amendment to the Transportation Code allows the vehicles to travel on roads with a posted speed of 45 miles per hour or less.
Update: (April 24 at 2:00 p.m.) We start the homestretch of Public Radio Music Month with an encore airing of The Five Browns Live in Boerne on Saturday, April 27 at 7 p.m.
On Sunday, April 28 at noon, David Mairs from the Mid Texas Symphony kicks off a day of guest DJs.
Sunday's schedule:
Is CSCOPE an education resource designed to help struggling school districts? Or is it a vast anti-American conspiracy that uses Texas classrooms to convert children to Islam and communism?
CSCOPE is an online curriculum management resource developed by the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC), a group made up of the 20 education service centers in the state. The group develops their curriculum framework through several sources.
UPDATE 3:45 p.m.:
KTXI is back on the air at this time. We are grateful for your patience during the outage and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.
KTXI 90.1 FM lost its audio feed on Saturday morning and remains off the air at this time.
The power supply in the far end of the Studio Transmitter Link (STL) system failed, which is the link that has carried program audio over a T1 telephone circuit for the last 15 years.
Critics consider Ana Cervantes –daughter of a Nebraska (USA) mother and a Mexican father– "a physical, emotional performer, with extraordinary touch and mastery of tone and colour"; an artist of "commanding intensity," "great interpretive qualities and enormous passion".
Her special ability to function as interlocutor between cultures, her charismatic stage presence and imaginative programming which embraces both contemporary and traditional repertoires, have earned her the accolade "ambassadress for the music of Mexico".

Ripping turns and going big, it's all part of the Process.
The team favorite Burton Process Snowboard returns for this year, and it's better than ever. The cambered shred-stick get a Squeezebox core profiling upgrade, which works in conjunction with The Channel mounting system to provide uninterrupted flex across the entire length of the board. Like previous versions, it's still got Frostbite edges for tons of grip, Scoop tip and tail for catch free butters and presses, and Jumper Cables for crazy pop. Consider it your partner in crime for destroying park features, day in and day out.
The twin shape of the Process makes switch takeoffs and landings a breeze. The stance is set back half an inch for directional stability, but feel free to mount it up centered if that's more to your liking. The flex is directional, with the tail being slightly stiffer than the nose for powerful ollies. Traditional camber means unparalleled control stomping big landings and locking in carves. Frostbite edges enhance that control by bumping out under the bindings, for extra grip on ice and hardpack.
Smooth Ride suspension provides extra damping to smooth out those harsh landings. Squeezebox core profiling thins the core under the binding, for a consistent flex across the entire length of the board. The Scoop tip and tail profile lifts the edges for catch-free butters, and the Pro Tip construction keeps the swing weight down for faster spins. Infinite ride means your board feels broken in right out of the box, and stays that way. The sintered base holds a bunch of wax, and will keep you flying all over the mountain, instead of getting stuck every time things flatten out.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This board has only 7 days on it for a reason. I bought the board to get a return to camber but the board is pretty much flat. The scoop tips basically get rid of the contact points meaning you will spin 360's getting off the chair. To sum it up i had more control on a Lib Tech Skate Banana. However the board is good in pow and boxes, but if you hit any ice prepare to fall on your ass. Also doesn't help that the Cartel EST don't have adjustable heel cup making it impossible to get centered over the board even when i shove the binding all the way forward, yes i know how to set up my bindings properly. I bought a Ride Buckwild and Union Contact Pro bindings and could not be happier with that decision. Plus i'm getting a T Rice, "quiver killers" like the Process are a waste of time, get a board for one extreme and another for the opposite.

Hard to take this guys opinion serious when there wasn't any snow in Alaska this year to speak of. 360's off your office chair. Have fun on your Buckwild, biatch.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The camber version is how every board should be designed these days. Classic camber with softer flex & scoop tips enables you to get the best of all worlds. Buttering, pressing, tons of pop and no washed out top speed turns / landings..... this board is perf. I am 6'0", 180 lbs. and I picked up the 159. Paired it with the Cartels and I could not be happier. Also, check out Mark McMorris & Max Parrot putting this board to the test in the Olympics. $420 too!

This snowboard is a lot of fun to hot lap the park on. It has a pretty soft flex, perfect for rails and jibbing, but a little bit soft for big jumps. I am 5'9 165 and ride the 155, it fits perfect.

Mark McMorris apparently doesn't think this board is too soft for big jumps!

Grand Forks Family makes Best of Brown ChristmasGrand Forks, ND (WDAY TV) -- It didn't really feel like Christmas for some of us. We had no snow on the ground and near record high temperatures. But one Grand Forks family made the best of this brown Christmas.
By: Melanie Orlins, WDAZ, WDAY
Grand Forks, ND (WDAY TV) -- It didn't really feel like Christmas for some of us. We had no snow on the ground and near record high temperatures. But one Grand Forks family made the best of this brown Christmas.
For most people, building snowmen and playing hockey aren't on the list this Christmas...
Mark Maurer: "There is a big family tradition for the Barsness family up here on Christmas day to try and find some ice to skate on."
Mark Maurer is in town with his wife visiting his in-laws. They have a Christmas tradition to ice skate outside. Luckily they have some friends in the area that were able to help them out.
Lori: "I kept asking my brother should I bring my skates, he was like yeah I've got a buddy who's got a rink going."
Although shovels and snow plows aren't needed this Christmas, this family's making the best of a brown Christmas on their very own ice rink.
Todd Barsness (Grand Forks Native): "This rink set up since 1997 after the flood so we kind of make it a, every year I come back we kind of always set up a time to come out here and skate...Without any ice I don't know what I'd be doing."
Lori: "So we're just really excited that we're able to skate today."
And with temperatures in the mid-fourties, these folks were the only people skating outside.
Todd Barsness: "First brown Christmas ever for me, it's very weird...I don't even feel like I'm in Grand Forks."
Mark Maurer: Scratch this one off my bucket list, so I'm definitely going to enjoy it...It's a nice capper on the day to be able to do this."
Even though they're not skating on a pond, the family is still happy they're able to continue their family Christmas tradition.
The rink has been a huge hit in the neighborhood since being built in 1997.

I-90 flammable cargoCharles from Seattle thought flammable material was prohibited on I-90 between Seattle and Mercer Island, but he recently saw several tanker trucks on the highway. Is this allowed?SR 531 rampMike from Stanwood worries about the sharp curve in the on-ramp from eastbound 172nd St (SR 531) to southbound I-5 in Arlington. The sharp bend makes it hard to see traffic coming down the loop ramp from westbound SR 531. Can WSDOT install a merge sign?Mukilteo ferry signalChris from Mukilteo likes the new signal at the Mukilteo ferry dock, but wonders why the signal faces ferry traffic only. It's hard for turning drivers to anticipate when traffic will start moving off the ferry again.
Q: Is flammable cargo allowed on I-90?Flammable cargo is allowed on I-90 most of the time. However, we do restrict flammable cargo whenever we have to take the fire suppression system inside the tunnels out of service for routine maintenance. We inspect the fire suppression system several times a year. It's during this routine maintenance that we post the flammable cargo restriction on our electronic messaging signs so drivers with flammable cargo know that a restriction is in place and can take an alternate route across the lake. Cargo restrictions are announced on this page: www.wsdot.wa.gov/commercialVehicle/Restrictions/. You can also get information about flammable restrictions from our I-90 construction page: http://wsdot.wa.gov/Northwest/King/Construction/I90AndSR520.htm. Even though we call it the construction page, we list I-90 flammable closures there just as soon as we're notified. Q: Can WSDOT install a merge sign on the SR 531 ramps to southbound I-5?We understand that the new on-ramps from SR 531 to I-5 at Smokey Point can take some getting used to, especially if drivers don't use them on a regular basis. The loop ramp from westbound SR 531 crosses under SR 531 and merges with the eastbound SR 531 ramp prior to merging onto I-5. Once the eastbound and westbound on-ramps merge together, drivers have extra distance to speed up before merging onto I-5. The angle and height of the eastbound ramp as it approaches the merge area with the westbound ramp gives drivers ample opportunity to see and anticipate traffic coming from the left on the westbound ramp. Even though state law doesn't specifically state which driver has the right of way at a freeway merge, merging is a shared responsibility between drivers. Drivers on the westbound on-ramp need to be considerate of drivers entering from the eastbound on-ramp who are entitled to join the traffic flow. To draw attention to merging traffic, each ramp has a yellow merge warning sign installed to help remind drivers they may need to adjust speed and make room for merging traffic ahead. Eastbound on-ramp drivers have their own role to play, and should adjust their speed to match that of drivers on the westbound ramp, then use their turn signal, and merge into the best available gap in traffic. *This question and answer came to us from Bill Sheets and his Street Smarts column in the Everett Herald. Q: It's hard to see when the signal for ferry traffic in Mukilteo will turn green again. Can WSDOT fix that?It's nice to hear that the recent improvements we made to the Mukilteo Ferry Dock have made a difference for drivers and pedestrians. However, we have no plans to change the current setup of the signal. The "new" signal isn't actually brand-new – instead, it's just been moved to a new location at the intersection. Before our project, the signal was located in the middle of the transfer span. Moving the signal allowed us to decrease the time between light cycles and add a pedestrian crossing during the ferry unloading process – all without delaying the ferry unloading time. Moving the signal to the intersection allows drivers off-loading from the ferry to see stopped vehicles at other legs of the intersection more easily, and that, in turn, allows drivers and pedestrians to make better decisions about when to cross the street or enter into traffic. *This question and answer came to us from Bill Sheets and his Street Smarts column in the Everett Herald. ---Still not find what you're looking for?

Cross Listed as AMST220, ENGL220
Toni Morrison has described her writing as guided by a musician's imperative always to hold something in reserve, to leave her audience wanting something more. It's a simple idea, but a strange one--that a reader's desire might be fulfilled only by its increase, that its satisfaction requires that it is never enough. African American writing, in all its richness and variety, moves between never enough and something more; this course will introduce just a few of the historical experiences, intellectual currents, cultural resources, thematic preoccupations, and formal strategies encountered in this writing, and consider how and to what ends African American literary tradition(s) have been organized, in critical and polemical ways, by individual writers and scholars, and by artistic and political movements. We'll forego the perspective of a grand overview, diving right in instead, and we won't necessarily always reach for the best-known titles by the most famous authors. In any case, by the end of the course, you should be prepared to have more left to read than you did at the beginning.

pfioeh.... I have changed all capitals into lower case words. Could you please type in lowercase instead of capitals?
About your story: great work. That Elvis monologue could easily be from August 1974. Amazing.... I don't think people remember that particular story because by that time it would be "just a joke" (one that you can forget).
About the numbers: that was one thing that Elvis was extremely fascinated with. He was fixed on numbers and read numerous books about it
